Investigation of liquid distribution in gas–solid fluidized beds for fluid cokers
Abstract Thermal cracking processes convert larger molecules into smaller, more valuable products, without a catalyst, allowing for transforming residual oils or waste plastics into useful compounds. Fluid coking, a thermal cracking process utilizing a fluidized bed of hot particles, processes approximately 1 million barrels of residual oil daily. This

Predicting initial dissolution rates using structural features from molecular dynamics simulations
Abstract Predicting the chemical durability of glass materials is important for various applications from daily life such as cell phone screens and kitchenware to advanced technologies such as nuclear waste disposal and biomedicine. In this work, we explored the prediction of the initial glass dissolution rates using structural features from molecular ...

An electron linac with high beam intensity over 1-Ampere for disposal of radioactive waste [PDF]
In order to dissipate long-lived radioactive waste, not only high ux proton accelerator but also electron linac have been proposed. A proton accelerator directly induces nuclear fission and mutation. On the other hand, electron beam has two processes: production of gamma rays through bremsstrahlung and produced gamma rays are available for the (gamma ;

Tackling Environmental Impact: A New Support Tool for Sustainable Healthcare Waste Management
ABSTRACT This study proposes a novel framework integrating Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) and Material Flow Analysis (MFA) within the Deming Cycle framework to address this gap. While valuable tools, ERA and MFA offer limited perspectives on environmental impact when used alone.

Real-time non-intrusive depth estimation of buried radioactive wastes based on approximate three-dimensional relative attenuation model [PDF]
A new method for non-intrusive estimation of the depth of buried radioactive waste have been developed. The method is based on an approximate three-dimensional relative attenuation model that exploits the variation in the intensities of the radiation image obtained on the surface of the material in which the radioactive source is buried.
